Intestinal Absorptive Surface in Mammals of Different Sizes (Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology)

This volume describes a comprehensive but simple technique for determination of the intestinal absorptive surface area in mammals of different sizes (from harvest mouse to horse). It is a treatise of research carried out by the author over 25 years in a much neglected area: morphology and morphometry of the large intestine - specifically the caecum of mammals. Over 20 species are considered, at the macroscopic and microscopic levels.
